The embassy in Lima is the only US post issuing visas in Peru — there is no consulate in Cusco, Arequipa, or anywhere else with a visa window. Applicants travel to Lima for every category.","question":"Is Lima the only place in Peru to get a US visa interview?"},{"answer":"Both, but they measure different things. The interview wait is the average experience of people interviewed recently — who booked under older conditions. The next-appointment figure is where the calendar opens today, and it is the number that governs your planning.","question":"The two visitor-visa numbers for Lima are months apart. Which one is real?"},{"answer":"Renewals that meet the current criteria can — the official scheduling questionnaire decides when you answer it. Since the criteria have changed several times since 2024, run the questionnaire rather than relying on what worked for someone else last year.","question":"Can Peruvians use the interview-waiver (dropbox) process?"}],"generated":"2026-06-11","isBasedOn":"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"US visa wait times in Peru — Embassy Lima (live State Dept data)","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html"],"type":"visa-wait-country","url":"https://migrantusa.com/us-visa-wait-times/peru/"}
